Some people have been asking which communities they should join first, so I posted some remote communities you can subscribe to on the sidebar on the homepage :)

Tech → !technology@beehaw.org
News → !news@beehaw.org
Gaming → !gaming@beehaw.org
Memes → !memes@sopuli.xyz
Privacy → !privacy@lemmy.ca
FOSS → !foss@beehaw.org
Monero → !monero@monero.town
Music → !music@beehaw.org
Books → !literature@beehaw.org
LGBT → !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org
Nature → !greenspace@beehaw.org
Sports → !sports@beehaw.org
Programming → !programming@beehaw.org

Find another cool community? Leave a comment :)

There's also this universal community search tool you can try using. If you find a community, just copy its URL and paste it in /search to subscribe to it here. This just goes to show that while there might not be many local communities here on lemmy.one yet, the beauty of the fediverse means that doesn't matter!

I think the reddit hug of love is affecting things today on the 12th.

Just a general question, on a mobile device is using your browser or an app the better experience? And if using an app is Jaebra the one most people use?

[–] girthero@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

I'm actually impressed it seems to be holding up rather well from what I'm seeing. Is there anywhere to view the uptick in traffic?

[–] BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was just wondering about that. Jerboa pushed a major update today so I thought it was that, but on desktop I am getting 403's and timeout galore today. Just try to be patient - growing the platform is a GOOD thing, but real people host these instances in most cases, and fixes take resources!

I prefer the browser to apps personally, this is actually one of the main reasons I like Lemmy over Reddit and it's unusable mobile view. You'll find plenty of mobile app users here too and it sounds like it works fine, I'll just caution that some (all?) of them sound like they're feature-incomplete, so if you ever think something is missing from Lemmy, double-check on the website first, because it might just not be added to the app yet.

[–] BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, most of them are still in Alpha. It's fun to see them grow and change with each update, but you are correct that many features are either broken/incomplete or just missing from them at this point. They're doing a terrific job with Jerboa, for anyone looking for an android client. It's very usable!

I am using the Jerboa app for Lemmy, and I am able to subscribe to communities via the search tab. How do I then view posts from my subscribed communities within the Jerboa app? Anyone know?

Not sure if I am using the app right...

Edit: looks like updating the app fixed it. Subscriptions now showing up in the left menu.

I appreciate you taking the time to share! I’ve only messed with Mastodon briefly and the fediverse is a little challenging to navigate at first (in my opinion).

I’ve been a lurker on the subreddit for ages and when I saw your post I decided it was time to check Lemmy out. Thanks for taking the time to set up an instance to keeps the community alive as Reddit implodes. Hopefully this works out or at least can act as a temporary home until we can figure out what is next.

Does anyone know of any communities for pigeons or capybaras (or tbh any other weird-but-cute critters)?

Join us for all your sports talk over at https://fanaticus.social! We've got communities for all the major sports and their teams.

I also spent the past week forking the popular game day bot, redball, in order to bring game bots to lemmy! There are still a couple of kinks I'm working out but I've begun rolling them out to the teams' communities, starting with the baseball communities.

Check out:

And all the teams-specific communities!

Should this be edited to remove Beehaw now that they have de-federated?

[–] Sileia@lemmy.one 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

AFAIK beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Not lemmy.one at the moment

[–] Stoneykins@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They are only de-federated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

Lemmy.one is still federated with those two and beehaw.org

That means it has no impact on us at all, afaik. I'm no pro but I just made a new account, after having a beehaw one, on this instance specifically to see if I could still see everything on all three, and I can.

Does anyone know if you can hide posts in Jerboa? This post and a lemmy.one welcome post are pinned at the top of my feeds, and they take up a lot of room visually. I'd also like to hide posts I've already seen, as on smaller communities I only want to see the occasional new posts, not see the same post from 3 days ago every time.

[–] harelu@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Go to your user settings and uncheck "show read posts", I just recently found it so I dont know how it works exactly, but im assuming once you open a post it will be considered read, and hidden on mexr refresh

@jonah - would you be willing to link mander.xyz to our community? They have a lot of science-based subs that look interesting. Thanks

[–] jonah@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There should be no problem joining their communities, just paste the URL for any of them into the box on https://lemmy.one/search

What don't you like about it? I find Beehaw pretty great. The only thing I could think of is that they've defederated some of the larger instances, but it's understandable given their content philosophy and the current state of moderation tools on Lemmy (really terrible).

Thanks you, subbed to a lot of them. The more content and more posts, the better. :)

[–] khoplex@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was going down the universal search tool list, subscribing to the communities that I was interested in, and I ran into an issue trying to sub to some of the communities. Thankfully I was able to quickly find the answer - anything that is on the block list under https://lemmy.one/instances you are not able to subscribe to from this instance.

[–] voynich@lemmy.one 6 points 2 years ago

Glad to see that Lemmygrad is on the blocklist.

If anyone else is missing Breaddit as much as I, [!bread] (!bread@lemmy.ml) (I think, bear with me as it's my first time trying to link to a community) seems like a good place to start.

Is this link better? https://lemmy.ml/c/bread
